Dash lights on '86 5ktq

[TM]

Most likely, it's the relay above the glove box. BTDT.

In an earlier message (a few weeks ago) I indicated that my dash lights
come on when I turn the headlights on but then will go off to maybe come
back on in a few minutes maybe not. I changed the license plate lights
and it still happens.  A few people suggested I check the dimming
switch.  Since I had just bought the car I did not have all the
information.  Now the same problem occurs but the center console lights
had never come on.  The come on sometimes along with the rest of the
dash lights and the dimmer works perfectly, they never turn off when
this happens.  Other times just the dash lights come on, the dimmer does
not work and fiddling with it does nothing, they go out after a few
minutes and might come back on, only to turn off again.  Any thoughts?
Could it be just the dimmer switch is malfunctioning?
  Or is it the relay above the glove box (another suggestion last time?)
I am not much of an electrician but if I can figure out what is wrong I
have freinds who could help me fix the problem.  Any suggestions are
welcome.
